Chernobyl - The Real Story

International agencies, the nuclear industry and governments ignore important scientific data about the consequences of the 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. A screw up or a cover up? Authors of a new book, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment published by the New York Academy of Sciences say it was a massive cover up. They say that almost a million people worldwide died as a result of Chernonbyl -- not 4,000 as officially claimed by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization. Book co-author, Professor Alexey V. Yablokov, Councilor of the Russian Academy of Sciences and former environmental advisor to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, tells Earth Focus that international organizations are ignoring scientific data published in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, countries most severely affected by the fallout from Chernobyl, because of their links to the nuclear industry. Professor Yablokov and book editor, US toxicologist Janette Sherman, MD, book note that effects of Chernobyl continue to be felt today by countries as far away as Germany and the the United Kingdom. Wild boars harvested by hunters in Germany continue to be tested for radioactivity and restrictions are still in place on the movement, sale and supply of sheep in parts of the United Kingdom. Book authors say there is evidence that links exposure to radioactivity with diminished human intelligence, as recent studies with schoolchildren in Sweden indicate, as well as breaks in chromosomes that lead to devastating birth defects and mental handicaps. The effects of Chernobyl will last for seven generations or more.

We presently have enough nuclear bombs and material to destroy all life on Earth. How much more do those in power need? Like excessive sociopathic economic greed, those who have can never get enough. We have to join together and demand a change in energy or we will have no future.

@celainea That's good if we get wiped out. We live like geeks! We are with 7billion on this planet, but when another race almost reaches 100.000, they are with too much, 80,000 get killed, so we can make more room for our buildings. We make war for oil, killing thousands, only for money. Governments are lying to us, because they dont want us to turn against them. Were killing each other because "god" said to kill the non-believers. really, i wouldn't mind if we die all together.

Some people might think that the 80% of sick children(I don't mean virus or anything) might know what happened even though they are brought down with Down Syndrome or Leukemia The fall out was so great that it reached the US and people that knew nothing about Chernobyl were getting laughed at for some rare thing that even the best doctors barely know anything about their ailment. Call me anything, but I know there is probably gonna be another T4 program for them
